Rock, Paper, Scissors, Lizard, Spock is a variation on the game Rock, Paper, Scissors.
The rules of the game are very simple:
"Scissors cuts paper, paper covers rock,
rock crushes lizard, lizard poisons Spock,
Spock smashes scissors, scissors decapitates lizard,
lizard eats paper, paper disproves Spock,
Spock vaporizes rock, and as it always has, rock crushes scissors."
-Sheldon Cooper, The Big Bang Theory
If that does not seem very simple, there is a handy chart provided above.
